West Palm Beach Deeds in Lieu of Foreclosure Attorney

Individuals facing foreclosure in Florida may not realize the options available to saving their home. If you are looking for alternatives to foreclosure, there are several different types of legal documents or plans that may work for you. One of these options is called a deed in lieu of foreclosure.

There are several types of mortgage defenses. Typically, when your home is facing a foreclosure, you may attempt a loan modification with your lender. If they refuse or are unable to reach an agreement with you, then we may try a short sale. If the bank is unable to sell the house in a short sale at a reasonable price, they may allow you to seek a deed in lieu of foreclosure.

How You May Be Able to Stay in Your Home

What a deed in lieu of foreclosure allows you to do is to hand over the title of the property to the bank. In return, they would accept the deed as full settlement of your debt. If we cannot reach an agreement to sell the property short, the bank may allow you to set up some kind of rental payment that would allow you to remain in the home. It can be tricky to convince your lender to accept this offer. From the bank’s perspective, this is typically a last resort.

Why the Attorney You Choose Is So Important
